US EditionMizzou OC Moore Leaving to Be Head Coach at Washington State
Moore, a native of Prosser, WA, returns to the West Coast after improving Missouri's offense to top 40 nationally in points and yards per game, officials said.
- On Friday, Kirby Moore, Missouri offensive coordinator, accepted Washington State University's head-coach job after three seasons, calling it a homecoming.
- A native of Prosser, Washington, Moore played at Boise State and coached at University of Washington and Fresno State, building his career within the West Coast football scene.
- Missouri's offense under Moore achieved its best three-year stretch with back-to-back bowl wins, rising from lower 2022 rankings to top-six in 2023 scoring and yards.
- Drinkwitz will seek Moore's replacement before Jan. 2 as some players could follow Moore to Washington State, while WSU's current assistants coach the Idaho Potato Bowl on Dec. 22.
- The new coordinator must repair Missouri's passing game while the run game, led by Ahmad Hardy, remains a foundation, and Eli Drinkwitz's hire signals the offense's future direction.
